  • Establish AI evaluation harnesses using offline golden datasets, scenario-based tests, and online monitoring to detect drift and regressions.
  • Introduce AI guardrails including authorization-aware context filtering, redaction rules, action confirmations, and audit logs.
  • Instrument services and critical logic with logs, metrics, and traces for production support and root-cause analysis.

  • Support incident response with runbooks and structured diagnostics, and harden solutions based on observed failure patterns.
  • Integrate ABAP on SAP HANA services with SAP and non-SAP ecosystems using event-driven patterns, API gateways, and enterprise integration layers.
  • Collaborate with user experience, integration, data, and platform teams to ensure end-to-end solution correctness and performance.
  • Prototype rapidly, demonstrate frequently, and evolve prototypes into scalable production systems with security and compliance built in.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with OData and service design patterns, API lifecycle management, and contract-first development.
  • Experience integrating SAP backends with cloud runtimes and enterprise integration platforms.

TM Forum and Accenture launch industry's first AI trust certification for telcos

TM Forum has launched a multi-year Trustworthy AI programme with Accenture to help telecoms deploy autonomous operations with verifiable trust standards. The initiative will deliver the industry's first Trustworthy AI Governance Certification, providing a benchmark for trusted AI deployment. Recent TM Forum research found that whilst 72% of communications service providers believe their AI capabilities are trustworthy, only 14% can verify their claims. The programme aims to transform AI trust from aspiration into measurable operational capability. The certification will help organisations assess governance maturity, workforce readiness, and operational accountability needed to scale AI autonomously. It will operate through TM Forum's AI-Native Collaboration Studios, where telecoms operators, vendors, and partners will contribute real-world use cases to shape the framework.

Accenture surges 17% on Q4 beat with $18.7B revenue, but analyst warns stock fully priced at 15x forward earnings

Accenture shares surged 17% on Thursday after reporting strong fourth-quarter results. The company posted revenue of $18.7 billion, up 6% year-over-year, while earnings per share jumped 46% to $3.29. Management's full-year revenue growth forecast of 4.5% exceeded analyst expectations of 4%. Net bookings rose 4% to $22.2 billion. The company plans to return at least $9.5 billion to shareholders this financial year. However, TD Cowen analyst Bryan Bergin maintained a hold rating, citing concerns that the stock is fully priced at 15 times forward earnings. He cautioned that one strong quarter may represent a cyclical bounce rather than structural growth acceleration. Despite this, Wall Street remains optimistic, with a "moderate buy" consensus rating. Accenture currently offers a 3.05% dividend yield.
